On a rainy morning, looking for more of an indoor activity, my husband and I went to the Smoki Museum. It is filled with wonderful Indian artifacts as well as beautiful handmade quilts. An interesting way to spend an hour or two.

Upon entering this museum it smells quite musty - not good if you have allergies or asthma.
The people though are friendly and knowledgeable.

We were planning on leaving town as soon as we visited this place. It was a Sunday and they do not open until 1:00. We were told by an uncaring lady that we had to go up the street to the third building. The entrance was confusing. All they had was overpriced art.
